CBS News paid a visit to St. Albert the Great Catholic School in Huntingdon Valley to check out an assembly on behalf of the Phillies’ World Series appearance. The assembly played a recap of Sunday’s clinching game against the San Diego Padres while 340 pre-K to 8th grade students sang and cheered in their finest Phillies gear.

“I was watching the game celebrating with my family,” 8th-grade student Olivia Grannells told CBS News. “It was really exciting.” 

“This is actually our first assembly since the pandemic so this is extra special for us and we’re very excited about this today,” principal Sandra McDevitt said.   

St. Albert students will be allowed to swap out their school uniforms for Phillies red on Friday when the Phillies take on the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series.

“I got three words for you Astro’s, ‘Phills in four baby! Let’s gooooooo!'” 8th-grade student James Pervitria said.
